What is a PKGX file?
Files with PKGX extension are associated with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager, an integrated server solution for monitoring systems and optimizing data center costs.
PKGX files store registry settings and file links. Data in PKGX can be exported using dedicated tool offered by Microsoft, as well as imported form other files. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager debuted in 2012 and is now considered obsolete.

How to open PKGX files
If you cannot open the PKGX file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports PKGX among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the PKGX file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the PKGX format files
The inability to open and operate the PKGX file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Configuration Manager Prestage Content file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a PKGX file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the PKGX file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the PKGX from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the PKGX format
- The PKGX file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the PKGX file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a PKGX file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the PKGX file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the PKGX file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the PKGX file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.PKGX) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected PKGX file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the PKGX file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. PKGX) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
